Héctor Serrano

Héctor Serrano is a Spanish designer who started his London-based studio in 2000. Although he’s now considered a main representational voice in Spanish design, he hadn’t always known he wanted to be a designer. Héctor admits he was a very bad student, having failed the course leading up to university. It was only after a friend suggested a course in design that Héctor found himself immersed in that world, quickly going from being the worst student to the best.

The focus of his studio is to create pieces that bring innovation and character while maintaining timelessness, simplicity, and attention to detail. They embrace the challenge that comes with designing lighting, that each piece needs to be attractive both when it’s on and when it’s off.

Héctor Serrano has received numerous awards such as the Red Dot Design Award, Designer of the Year 2009 by AD magazine, Best of the Year Awards by Interior Design Magazine, and the Peugeot Design Award. His products have also been exhibited in museums such as the V&A in London and the Cooper-Hewit National Design Museum in New York.

"Light is essential in life, without it nothing would exist." - Héctor Serrano
